Prince Harry Will Reportedly ‘Rush Home To Meghan’ After The Coronation And Miss Out On Family Events: ‘A Great Shame’

Prince Harry To Rush Home To California Following King Charles' Crowning

As Prince Harry, 38, will only be at the coronation for a few hours, The Mirror reported that event organizers will not reserve a seat for him at the musical extravaganza which will take place the day after the crowning ceremony, which will include performances from Katy Perry, Lionel Richie, and Andrea Bocelli, and is expected to include an audience of more than 20,000 spectators.

"After much back and forth, Harry said that he would be returning for the King’s coronation but it will only be a fleeting visit," a royal source told The Mirror. "Organizers have been told Harry won’t be attending the concert with the rest of the royal family, which is a great shame as it will be such a spectacular event."

Princess Diana's former butler, Paul Burrell, who already correctly predicted that Prince Harry would be coming to the coronation without Meghan, said that his decision to make a brief appearance at the coronation is "not a surprise," telling GB News: "He is coming to show face. He is coming to put his foot in the door. He is coming because his father wants him to be there. His father will be delighted that both his sons will be there to witness this incredible day in his life. But Harry is not going to hang around."

Prince Harry And Prince William Will Be Kept Apart

Burrell also referenced Prince Harry's previous hopes of a reconciliation, saying that he thinks there will be "no chance" of the brothers patching things up, and said it's unlikely they'll even get a chance to speak to each other due to the great lengths the palace are going to keep them apart to avoid any unwanted tension. According to LBC, Prince William will "tolerate" Harry's presence if they do happen to cross paths, but the family "have not met the Duke of Sussex's demand for an apology."

"I think he will get a very icy reception from the Windsors," Burrell added, before going on to say that his seating position during the crowning ceremony will ensure he won't come into close contact with his father or brother. "He will be sitting ten rows back. He will not even see his brother or his father in that time. He will be in and out in a flash."
